From moving in as a freshman in Summer 2004 to present day as a staff member, Cal Lutheran has quite literally been a second home for me for the past 16 years. I have been blessed to have made lifelong friendships, collaborate with students who go above and beyond what they are expected to do, and work with a team that I can call family. I think that’s why I am so passionate about working here and continue to stay. Because I’ve been where these students are, I want to be able to help them and support them however I can every step of their way- the same way I was supported when I was a student at Cal Lu.
